my google play store wont work "it opens but does not pass the retry, no connection screen". I have tried every other option(clearing all data on application manager, factory reset my device, downloading apps via browser and redownloading google play store off of 4shared) clearing all data did not work and when I tried to download the google playstore off of 4shared the actual browser wouldn't load passed the screen where it asks for your facebook or twitter validation. when I tried downloading the apps off of the browser it said there is no device. would rooting and flashing my device be the next step? if so, I have never rooted and flashed a phone any tips or suggestions? I have basically tried everything and would really appreciate some help. PLEASE HELP!!model # SGH-1317M Bell Mobility ( CANADA )Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Thanks soo much for your time/help. I already tried factory reset and then delete account and re-add the google account in the settings menu but still no luck. my phone is pretty useless without the play store, any other suggestions???

Well, if factory resetting your device is not solving your problem out then there might be some other big issues i think you should try flashing the other ROM like from the cyanogen mode, I am preferring this because i am having a doubt about your ROM it might have some bugs or kind of as installing cynogen mod ROM will let you test that play store is working in the correct way or not if you see like in Cynogen mod ROM play store works fine than you are definitely going to sure about the problem is in your ROM and if flashing doesn't even solve the problem then the problem is with the device ROM only and i am afraid you need to visit the nearest support centre for that ..... I would really hope that this answer would be of some use for you...

hi have you solved your problem with playstore already? i have the same problem with my samsung galaxy note 8. but... the playstore on a brand new tab i just bought for my grandmother also has the same issues. its guaranteed brand new so i think its not the device that has the issue. try tweaking your connection too
